Don,
Re: the three year proposed tax increases.
Your figures are absolutely correct. If these increases go forward, the net tax increase for the average St. Albert taxpayer over the next three years will be 26.73 per cent, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Hi Don!
It seems to me that the city is doing everything possible to avoid moving the power lines. I wonder why?
Do you know how many “human errors” have been committed in this whole process?
Are they saying they look nice now with dead birds hanging off them and if they were to move them, that would ugly them up?
Obviously the view from where ever they are looking is different than the view the rest of us gets.
How come the city can keep the money they were given to move the power lines without doing what the money was intended for? If I did that I’m sure I’d get sued for breach of contract.
I sat in on the meeting with the environment group and listened to all the options.
One thing I paid special attention to was the damage that would be done to the environment if they were to bury the lines. It would involve uprooting so much of the land around it and would cause other problems, either temporary or permanent.
This council isn’t the same council I thought I was voting for. It’s too bad.

You are correct about this council Barb. It has turned into a “don’t question us, we’re right again” kind of council that will tax us to death if we don’t stop them and their $ervu$ Place crusade that prevents us from affording other things.
